1. يا صاحِ عَرِّج بِجِسرِ جِسرينِ

    وَلا تَحِد عَن فيحِ البَساتينِ

    O friend, stop by the bridge of Jisrin,

    and do not stray from the gardens’ open expanse.

  2. تِلكَ البَساتينُ زُيِّنَت فَزَهَت

    بِياسَمينٍ غَضٍّ وَنِسرينِ

    Those gardens were adorned and grew radiant

    with fresh jasmine and wild roses.

  3. قُم وَاِسقِني قَهوَةً مُشَعشَعَةً

    مِن صَيدَنايا وَمِن صَريفينِ

    Rise and pour me wine mixed with water,

    from Saydnaya and from Sarifin:

  4. مَدامَةً تَجلِبُ السُرورَ وَتَن

    في الهَمَّ عَن قَلب كُلِّ مَحزونِ

    wine that brings joy and

    banishes sorrow from every grieving heart.

  5. أَنا الَّذي جاءَ مَن يَلومُ عَلى ال

    هَوى بِقَولٍ بِالصِّدقِ مَقرونِ

    I am the one who came to him who reproaches me for

    love, with words coupled with truth:

  6. لا تَعذِلوني فيمَن أَهيمُ بِهِ

    أَنتُم لَكُم دينُكُم وَلي ديني

    Do not reproach me for the one I am madly in love with;

    you have your religion, and I have mine.

  7. وَكُلُّنا نَرتَجي النَجاةَ غَداً

    وَاللَهُ مِمّا أَخافُ يُنجيني

    And we all hope for salvation tomorrow,

    and God will save me from what I fear.
